We had the opportunity to take a tour with Dome Tours, in and around the Venterskroon district. We went to the old gold mines where 134oz were mined in the 1800/1900s before the well ran dry.Some say there is still a lot of gold in the area, but luckily, once this becomes a World Heritage Site, nobody will be able to mine here.
Francious, our guide and Mr Dome tours and adventures, and Maria had the honors of taking group photos for the group.
The viewpoint from here allowed us to see quite far, and also get an idea of the ripple effect of the impact. I only had eyes for the beautiful river down below though. I got excited thinking that in no time, we will be on that river, in canoes, paddling to Bloemhof dam. Hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
This is a beautiful tree, of which I forgot the name, but this used to be the tree, where the postman of years ago, used to leave post, if he was unable to deliver it personally to the postal coach, heading to Potchefstroom. He had to swim across the river from the Freestate to the Transvaal side. The hole is still inside the tree where he used to deliver the post to.
